We should make sure to get all the information we can about all the subjects posted here.

By the same token, I feel we should make sure to get all the information we can about the posters.

You game?

Assistance to States -- provides reimbursement for costs of prosecuting and imprisoning undocumented criminal aliens.

Wow!

About a week after I began using that term (in lieu of the uber-propagandized "illegal aliens"), and urging EVERYONE to use it (and explained why), I heard a "Republican Strategist" (whose name escapes me) use it on a Fox News interview show.

Now even a RAT is using it!

It has traction!

(I cannot forsee the day when any operative tries spinning it via propaganda such as "law-abiding criminal aliens"!)

Is that prediction indicative of a reputable polling company?

Are you challenging the results of THIS poll?

Or are you merely engaging in the "shooting the messenger" logical fallacy?

Do you assert that the majority of American voters do NOT reflect the opinions measured via this poll?

If yes, do you have data of your own to SUBSTANTIATE that assertion? Or are you just blowing smoke up our pants?

And, if NO -- if you don't have any data that supports that assertion -- then why are you hammering us over the head with it? What makes YOU the annointed arbiter of what's best for the country? What gives YOU the right to impose YOUR will over that of the majority of Americans?

"the majority of of who voted will either vote 3rd party, or stay at home."

I will just stay here in Slovakia, and not bother with absentee ballot. It will be the first election that I have ever missed. (over 40 years)
I see no point in voting.

At least then youd be happy. Hell you might even get a guest worker program with a path to citizenship on top of that!
